A gratifying turn-out of 12 or so members arrived at Rufford station for the field trip. The walk got off to a flier with flocks of Pink-footed Geese and Whooper Swan flying over, and a sighting of a Barn Owl roosting in a hedgerow. Large flocks of corvids and woodpigeon were constantly moving aroun...

Lower Healey 7.1.12

A Buzzard was hovering over Nab Wood. Other than that it was pretty quiet. Full sightings:- Mallard 12, Coot 3...

Bank Hall area 2.1.12
2 or 3 Buzzards, Kestrel, Nuthatch, Jay, Goldfinch, Blue, Great and LT Tit, Robin, Wren, Blackbird.
Large numbers of Jackdaw on the scaffolding at Bank Hall made it look decidedly Hitchcockian. Also lots of Woodpigeon, Herring and LBB Gulls circling around.
Year list 40 species - must do better!

Anglezarke Res 2.1.12
A female Pochard was the only bird of interest on the water. Plenty of Mallard and BH Gulls, plus a couple of Canada Geese also present.
A male Sparrowhawk flew over the motorway bridge at Botany on the way out. A Kestrel was hovering by the roadside near Limbrick on the way back.

Spent the last hour of daylight on Croston Finney in a desperate attempt to score an equaliser (Whooper Swan or Brambling would have done, believe it or not). All I got was a soaking for my troubles. There were several each of Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Linnet, Reed and Corn Bunting and Yello...
